ski542002 Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 Hi: Running Affinity Photo on my MacBook Pro. -I have a photo document opened. -I make a selection somewhere in that document. -I want to make that selection a layered image on the original photo document. -I ALSO want to be able to drag that selection to another open document in Affinity. I can do this in about 5 seconds in Photoshop, but cannot figure out how to do this in Affinity. Quote
toltec Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 If you make a selection and press Cmd + J (Layer > Duplicate) it will copy the selection onto a new layer. You will have to Copy and Paste that layer to a new document. Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.
ski542002 Posted April 9, 2018 Author Posted April 9, 2018 Fantastically simple. What I really like about the Affinity process for this move is, once the layer is active, I can manipulate many characteristics of the layer without going thru additional steps or menu's. Continuing the learning process and becoming less concerned about moving away from the big PS monster! I appreciate your prompt reply! Quote
